I know there is a lot to be done on site but the builders have assured us that all will be ready for us to move in as we begin the autumn and leave the summer behind. The official opening has been fixed for Sept 27th in the afternoon when the Archbishop will ask God to consecrate the building for his glory and the benefit of this community. The Centre will be functioning from late August/early September and I hope you will feel that this is your facility and that you will all find various things happening there which you can be involved in. The opening of the Centre means that we say bye bye to the cottage as it has functioned for the past 6 years. We hope you will drop in to that final celebration and in doing so you will be supporting our steadily-growing youth and children's work in the parish. Apart from the new Parish Centre life goes on and lots of things need to be attended to within our Parishes. The repair of the Church Tower in Calary is a big undertaking for the parishioners. Great efforts are being made to raise the necessary funds to complete this essential work. A very successful sale was held in the Grainstore, Kilruddery on May27th. Organised by Elizabeth Evans and a great team from Calary the sale exceeded all expectations. The beautiful weather added greatly to the carnival atmosphere. We are indebted to lord and Lady Ardee and the Brabazon family for their generous hospitality in allowing the use of their ideal facilities for the sale. Please note that the Sunday services in Newtownmountkennedy and Newcastle are united for July and August and are at 11.30am. and the calendar on the back pages gives the venue for each service. I hope you will make a special effort to travel to worship even if not in your usual Church. I hope you all find some time to enjoy some period for holiday and relaxation during the summer. The Sunday School teachers will be back on duty in September and we also look forward to the sweet voices of the Junior Choir during the next term. Sincere thanks to Karen Kissane and her team for their work with the Sunday School and to Joan Dempsey and her helpers for all they are doing with the Junior Choir. The Parish Choir, under Andy's guidance, has been very committed to their singing and all will now have a little time to relax. Thank you for all you put into your work and we hope you will encourage us by your presence at worship even when taking a break from official duties.
